Brad Pitt’s Mother

Brad Pitt’s Mother, Brad Pitt’s mother has criticised gay marriage and President Barack Obama in a letter to her local newspaper in which she praises Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. In the letter appearing on the website of Brad Pitt’s boyhood hometown newspaper, the Springfield News-Leader in the United States state of Missouri, Jane Pitt commended Romney, a Mormon, for sharing a “Christian conviction concerning hmosxlity”.

She said Obama “did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage”.

The letter published on July 3 was the most frequently viewed item on the News-Leader’s website on Friday, and had generated more than 100 comments from readers. Springfield is a heavily Christian community in the heart of the Bible Belt in southern Missouri.

Jane Pitt’s views on gay marriage contrast with her son, who has publicly championed same-sex marriage. Pitt has also been on friendly terms with Obama. He and actress Angelina Jolie met with him at the White House in January regarding efforts against mass atrocities and sexual violence against women.
